Help needed

Last updated about 1 month ago

This is a collection of pages and objects on EOL that need some work! If you find a page or have a collection you think could use some additional information, please nominate it by mentioning it in a comment in the collection newsfeed. If you would like to be part of the team that works on these pages, join the Rapid Response team. If you would like to help manage this collection, please let us know in the collection newsfeed.

All of you are welcome to help make these pages better!

If you have more than ten pages that need work for a particular project, please gather them together in a collection before adding them here. The more information you can provide about what kind of information is needed the better.

Recent papers suggest there is interesting information to be added to an overview. Also needs image, please contact folks at Drexel, etc. -- I added brief summary and contacted Drexel for images.(Dana)

We need something better on mantis shrimps. Maybe not this page but I'm not sure what the best page would be. I've learned that something in this group is called "sea-grasshopper" in Italy but don't know if that's just a specific species, a genus, or the whole group. And of course there's the sonic cavitation story floating around out there. Looks like we've got lots of good info at the higher level http://eol.org/pages/7370/ Thanks Jen! But maybe we could use some brief summaries lower.

see comment on page no available image for this species. Maybe better to make the genus page richer, and include short description of O. bracteatum (herbal medicinal). This species isn't in a standard classification (Dana).

This well-studied fascinating bird deserves a good brief summary and it looks like Wikipedia doesn't have anything suitable before the table of contents. I might tackle this because I worked with them one summer.

Sad how this collection is missing a few species (not sure why we don't have pages yet) and how many lack an image. Often it is hard to get CC-licensed images of rare things, but we should try to find them in BHL or draw them or something. And I haven't even yet checked the content for richness.

Attention, California naturalists! You can find in this Unreviewed collection many lovely bird photos in need of confirmation, and also an assortment of plant images, most also depicting an insect visitor. The collection owner is confident of the plant IDs, but would like some help with the insects. Have fun!

There are many primate images that have no more specific taxon association. Some of these are trusted as "Primates", some of them are not. Could use someone with better knowledge than I have to wander through and associate some species. -- cyndy replies -- Can you give an example? I went looking for images just associated with Primates and out of about 50 from the Primate worklist (so far) I couldn't find any. What partner do they come from?

This list is of things I would like to get to and feel I can contribute to, but in no way am I hoarding. If someone gets there first, that's great. Mostly it's a finding aid to me for stuff I've found around or seen on the redhotpending list and put in a shorter list. If you wan to be a manager, let me know.
